A group of Israeli soldiers performed a blasphemous parody of the Sacrament of Matrimony and mocked icons in an Orthodox church in Lebanon. A video of the incident was published on the TikTok page contro.informazio.
The footage, recorded by the soldiers themselves inside the Church of Saint Mamas in the Lebanese village of Deir Mamas, shows the military mocking the Sacrament of Matrimony, desecrating icons, and ridiculing Christian prayers.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Catholic nuns in Spain danced in the altar area before the throne.
